My Blog window has officially been open for about 2 days now - an all-time record, impressive even for Lydia. The glorious time-honored tradition of finals fast approaches. And I've been sure to lock the windows and keep all sharp objects out of reach lest I get the temptation to shuffle off this mortal coil for the hell fires of damnation. Sometimes I think it might be an improvement to a week filled with three-hour long tests and even longer periods of "studying."
One thing this expert procrastinator has made time for is the stimulating medium of TV! This week saw the much-hyped Heroes finale. Thanks WGA. Although it was thoroughly predictable and otherwise not entertaining. What is it about these phenomenon shows that hit their peak during Season One; LOST ring a bell anyone? The two heroes I knew would be killed, died. Three more heroes I wanted to perish are still on screen sucking up valuable air time that could be dedicated to my favorites, the reason I even tune in. Just call it the Peter, Hiro, Sylar, Elle show and call me tickled. Sure Hayden P is as cute as a button but shes got about two levels of emotion. Crying and whispering. Like if her voice gets quieter, its supposed to let us know something traumatic is going on in that blonde head of hers. (whispering) I just don't get it.
With the countdown to the holidays in effect, new episodes of favorite shows like Pushing Daisies are few and farther between. Great music on television is more difficult to find. But here are a few highlights from the last month or so on TV (I'm making up for lost time). I refuse to put up any music from formerly Tivo-ed show Greys Shitaomy. Shonda, please take a second look at your pride and joy.
